remarked vender of shoes on Clark street the
other day, and how he got fooled by. a little
saw-d-off miner there? Mo- Well I'll tell you
about it. Billy Maiden was managing Charlie
Mitchell then and the pair had been meeting
with great success all through the country. Ar
irving at Leadville Madden offered, as usual, to
give the sum OF 500 to any man who would
stand before Mitchell four rounds. Among the
miners there was little man named Mike Hays,
who had the reputation OF being pretty tough
man to get away with, and he was egged on by
his friends TO attempt the feat, and finally con-
sented to do so.
HE can't knock me out with club he
said confidently, as he walked onto the stage
The theatre was crowded, and probably in
the whole crowd there were not ten men who
believed that Hays would succeed in his under
taking as he stood before Mitchell in an awk-
ward attitude with his gloves on and seemed
almost Ike dwarf. Mitchell played with him
for few moments and then his right shot out,
catching Hays under the ear and knocking him
clear into the scenery in the further corner. No
one expected to see him come up again, but
come up he did. and smiling, too. as the sport
ing reporters have it. Time and time again did
Mitchell knock him down, and just as often did
he turn up ready for more. Mitchell grew more
and more vicious at every failure, and during
the last round he knocked the little fellow all
around the stage like a shuttl-cock, but when
the round was over little Hays was still deck,
and, marching proudly off when the fight was
over, he said
"'Begorra, he kicks like mule, that fellow
does. an I'll bet right now his hands Is sorer

MANS LOVE FOR A HORSE.
Jerry May Have Been Tough, but He
Had One Soft Spot in His Heart.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal
Your little story about Judge Randall
Whites purchase of Charley Ford, Jerry Mon
noe's old racer, reminds me of an incident that
occurred the other day, in which the three men
toned were interested, said a friend of mine
yesterday. Jerry has figured for so many
years as diye-keeper, an owner OF game COCKS
and patron of the dog pit that public opinion
of the old man has given him hard name and
desperately immoral character. He may have
been brutal In his tastes, and hardened through
contact with the depraved inmates OF the motto
rous resort of which he was proprietor, but
Jerry had one soft spot in his finty old heart,
and that was for the aged white horse he sold
the other day 10 Judge White. When old Char
ley was in his prime Jerry was offered Sl1 900 for
him, but refused it, and remarked at the time
that he did not think money could buy him.
Back in the Of his State street dive, just of
from the room in,which were Gagged some OF the
best bred game chickens in the country, Monroe
had provided big box stall, warm as toast, and
the floor Of which was always covered with sew
eral inches of clean yellow straw Here the old
horse had the best Of everything. Jerry never
being without a lump of sugar for him when he
went TO the stall. Upon the evening of the day
when he sold the horse 10 Judge White, Jerry
went into the little saloon at the corner OF
Twenty fifth and State streets and resting his
head upon his hands at the little table which
stood behind pile of ale boxes in the corner,
cried like woman. the tears running down his
hardened face until it was wet with a moisture
~ y
Judge White took the horse from his stable and
drove to his house on Wabash avenue, beyond
Twenty 6fth street. where he hitched him and
entered the house. The day was chilly, and the old
horse shivered a bit in the cold wind as Jerry
happened to pass. A look almost of tenderness
came over the old dive. keepers face, and this
deepened as the aged trotter whinnied when he
felt his former masters hand upon his neck.
Jerry glanced at the house, and when the Judge
himself appeared at the door in answer to
Jerry's ring, said: Excuse me, Judge, but the
old horse is out there uncovered He amt used
to it, Judge. and he's getting old. ike. know
he's your horse now, but say, Judge, I'd rather
take off my overcoat and cover the old fellow
With it than to see him SILVER another minnie
The big hearted Judge smiled. and going into
the house came out with wool blanket, which
he threw over the old racers back. Thank ZEE,
Judge. said Jerry, 1 didn't want ter interfere
nor nothin', but old Charley was my pet, and
I'd go hungry to-day to give him a square
meal. You See concluded my friend, lit is

Mr.. Thompson's Banking Scheme.

1t is admitted that the tariff and currency
will occupy large share of the attention of
Congress next winter. The tariff is u con-
slant subject of discussion; the currency a
periodical one Just now the bankers of
the country, particularly of New York, are
having a good deal to say about the cur
rency.
John Thompson, Vice President Of the
Chase National Bank, of New York city,
has just published a paper in which he out
lines plan for perpetuating the national
banking system. He insists that the country
hasn't enough currency that Is, real money
coin, greenbacks and national bank notes.
Nine tenths of the business transactions are
in checks, drafts and letters of credit
These become comparatively useless when
there is panic, or threatened panic, and
at such time real money becomes very
scarce because it is boarded How is the
country to get more curreucy9
NJ Thompson says it can be obtained by
following his plan, which is as follows:
First. Permit the banks TO discontinue the
deposit of government bonds as security for
currency, and in lien adopt the following:
Second. Make it legal for banks to obtain
currency from the Treasury Department of
80 per cent on capital paid up.
Third Give this issue OF currency pre-
ferred lien on the entire assets of the bank,
including the individual liability of stock
holders. in case of insolvency,
Fourth Divert the annual internal reve-
nue. tax of per cent. per annum on circu-
lation into an insurance fund to be held in
the Treasury of the United States as a
guarantee for the redemption of any cur
rency which may fail to be redeemed under
the above preferred arrangement.
Mr.. Thompson would not repeal any of
the requirements of the national banking
act. He would simply amend the act as
above indicated. and he feels assured that
the national banking system would become
permauencv and it would afford a cur
rency that would he accepted the world
over at par, and would be suf-
flcient to meet every demand.
He thinks that it would absorb the State
banks, and that the banking of the country
would, become almost uniform. He makes
the prediction that if his plan is adopted
lueEc VIII uc SDOy;VpO'VuV vi osulh hupe cur
rency in circulation within three years, and
that the guarantee fund will amount to
$4,000, 900.
The bankers have plenty of schemes for
increasing the currency and improving the
National Banking system, and doubtless
Congress will have a very choice lot of them
from which to make selection. This one
of Mr.. Thompson's seems to have merit.

Shall Halid N aud Crecy live,
Embaz'd by hand of Mars
And Roland's name and valor fame
Immortal as the stars;
Shall Helias old and Hellas new
Grow grander thro' the years,
And this fair pageant fade away
AS mist that disappears
Aud milder scenes that lie beyond
The earthquake waste of war
When proud traditions wrought their end
Beneath a fav'ring star,
And that fair flower of knightly grace
Flash'd joyance on the day.
Till glowed again the lights of old
In dreamland far away
Immortal names like blotted suns,
Must perish in that death
And spirits, stil our nations boast,
Must yield their God-like breath
And all too soon that certain doom
Come swiftly moving on,
AZ come it must--our nations dearth-
When dies great Washington!
Let perish hate and feudal pride,
Our old ancestral foes,
And Ger their waste let union rise
AS erst the ocean rose
Above our hills and unforrn'd plains
With shoreless swell and high,
Till slept the fire in cratered depths
So let our passions die
The new is but the old renewed
And come to higher state,
Resurgent from fiery grave
And quick with life innate.

But heaven shall keep the true,

The Leader. edited by the notorious Col

Of organized labor i'll New York, in its Fri

the execution of the Anarchists, of which
the following is a fair specimen: "Ameri-

In another column is found the following
announcement: "The Leader is killed BY
the Indifference of workingm n. After a
year of struggles and hardships of every
kind, the Leader is compelled tn TEMPORARY
ly suspend its publication" This looks like
another case of cause and effect. The

did not represent the workingmen, and they
would not support it.

The Fishery Commissioners.

There is no doubt that the Republican
leaders are hostile TO the effort which the
administration is making TO settle the fish
cries dispute. The Republican organs have
been insisting that the President was wholly
without authority to appoint commissioners
70 negotiate O treaty, and they now say
that the Senate will, in all probability,
refuse to ratify the treaty that may be
negotiated.
What the Republicans wan is the en-
forcement OF the resolution adopted by the
last Congress, which authorizes the Presi
dent to employ retaliatory measures to com
pei Canada to grant to American fisher
men the same privileges which are granted
to American traders i'll Canadian
waters. They know that the enforce.
menC of that resolution would re-
suit in complications which would
injure the popularity of the administration,
and, consequently, OF the Democratic party.
and that the Republican party would be
benefited by such condition of affairs.
The administration, however, knows what
it is doing, and is not likely to be pushed
into the position which the Republican lead
ers would like to have it occupy. 1t is true
that the Senate, at the last session of Con-
gress, indicated its hostility TO any effort to
secure another treaty with regard to the
Canadian fisheries, but the administration
is not bound by the attitude of the Senate.
Hamilton Fish. who was Secretary of State
during Gen. Grants administration, says
that there is ample authority in the consti-
tuition for the appointment of commission
ers by the President to negotiate treaty.
and that in appointing them
TO settle the fisheries dispute he has not
exceeded his powers There IS no better
authority on this matter than the x-Secre-
tary, and it is probable that there will be
no further question relative to the legality
of the commission.
1t is true that the Commissioners will
have TO be confirmed by the Senate, but it
is possible that they will have completed
their work before it will become necessary
to send their nominations to the Senate for
confirmation II their nominations should
be sent there, however. soon after Congress
meets, and they should be rejected, it is
probable that the President would imme-
diately nominate other commissioners TO
carryon the work The chances are
that the present commissioners will
not be disturbed and that they will nego-
tlate treaty.

Mr.. plaine,s Programme.

If the statements sent to this country by
European correspondents respecting the
effect which the result of the recent cleo
tions has had upor. Mr.. Blaine are TO be re-
lied upon that eminent Republican. will not
be a candidate for the Presidential nomina-
ton of his party next year. 1t may be,
however, that he has purpose in letting
the impression get abroad that he proposes
to stand aside in 1888, and let some other
leader of his party have the nom ination.
but really means to take it himself if he can
get it,
Before the elections this year his support
ers were sure that the result would show
Republican gains, particularly in New
York, and il it had they would have i'm
mediately said that Mr.. Blaine should be
nominated because all that would be needed
to insure success would be his name at the
head Of the ticket, and his magnetic man
agernent of the campaign. The result how
ever, was against the Republicans, and
Blaine's friends now insist that he alone can
save the Republican party from another
disastrous defeat next year. AS an evidence
of his extraordinary popularity they point
to the fact that he ran within thousand
or SO votes of Mr.. Cleveland in New York.
while Col. Fred Grant, who led the Repub-
lican ticket in that State this year, was
beaten by nearly 5000 votes.
1t NAV be assumed as certain that until
the result of this years elections were
known Mr.. Blaine intended to be the Re
publican candidate for President next year,
but that now, having grave doubts about
the ability Of his party to elect him. he is
uncertain what course to pursue, and will
he guided by events that will occur before
the meeting of the national convention.
His confidential friend, Mr. John b.
Alley of Massachusetts,, who is in Europe
with him, is reported as saving that Mr..
Blaine will not be candidate next year,
but will enter the Senate from Maine, and
will seek the Presidential nomination of his
party again in 1892. He will only be IL
years old then, and as he is in vigorous
health now he may succeed in carrying out
this programme. The chances that he will
ever reach the P esidency, however, are de-
cidedly against him.
